Cedar Falls Gathering Honors Family Members Killed Last Month At Maquoketa Park

Friends and neighbors of the three people killed while camping last month at Maquoketa Caves State Park gathered in Cedar Falls Tuesday night to honor Tyler and Sarah Schmidt and their six-year-old daughter, Lula. Tyler Schmidt’s aunt thanked the community for focusing on the joy Tyler and his family spread in the community. Authorities say 23-year-old Anthony Sherwin of Nebraska shot and killed the three members of the Schmidt family at Maquoketa Caves State Park, then took his own life.
